Kerala Blasters vs NorthEast United FC: Dream11 fantasy suggestions

Considering the Blasters' injury concerns and suspensions from the previous match, they're likely to field a second-string defensive four and that should leave them vulnerable against an in-form Highlanders attack. While they will have the fierce backing of their home fans, it's advantage NorthEast heading into this match.

Phalguni Singh, Adrian Luna, Romain Phillippoteaux, Parthib Gogoi, Asheef Akhtar, and Soraisham Singh look like the must-haves for this match, with the likes of Dimitris Diamantakos, Daisuke Sakai, Kwame Peprah, and Manvir Singh good differential picks.

Captaincy-wise, Adrian Luna, Parthib Gogoi, and Dimitris Diamantakos look like the best bets.
